The next Brews & the Big Sky: Montana Made, Montana Brewed will unfold on Tuesday, April 25th from 6–8pm. Agriculture & Ales: Growing Big Sky Communities with MSU Extension will be serving brews from Katabatic Brewing Company. There is an $8 admission which includes a free glass and beer tasting for those 21 and older.
Montana State University was founded in 1893. In those days, however, it was known as the Montana College of Agricultural and Mechanical Arts and provided technical agricultural and homemaking information to citizens across the state. MSU instructors and researchers studied plant varieties (including barley and hops) that could thrive in Montana’s climate, advised home canners on the latest techniques, and even trained home radio users in how to keep their sets in tip-top condition. Join for a lively discussion of MSU’s long history of educating Montanans — even those who live far from Bozeman! Brews & the Big Sky explores the unique growth and success of business and industry under the Big Sky paired with unique Montana brews. Enjoy a night out as the Museum becomes a lively venue for drinks, dinner, and local history.
Begin your evening with an exploration of local industries — presented by Curator of History Michael Fox — and a lecture in the Hager Auditorium. Then sample brews from a Montana brewery, purchase dinner from a local food truck, or wander through MOR exhibitions. Enjoy an adults-only evening at MOR!
